ASIAA/NTU CCMS/NTU Physics Joint Colloquium, May 10
截止日期：2011-05-05
Speaker: Mei-Yin Chou (周美吟), IAMS and Georgia Tech
Topic: Physics of Few-Layer Graphene
Time: 5/10 (Tuesday) 14:20 - 15:10
Place: Room 104, CCM-New Physics Building
Abstract: Graphene, a single atomic layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, is a unique two-dimensional system with a vanishing effective mass for both the electrons and holes near the Fermi level. Many interesting physical properties of graphene have been identified and investigated within the framework of massless relativistic fermions. When one stacks the graphene layers on top of each other, modification of the physical properties may occur in an unexpected way. In this talk, I will discuss our computational efforts that investigate the special electronic properties of few-layer graphene, such as the fractal features in the Landau levels of twisted bilayer and the surface states in ABC-stacked few-layer graphene.
Brief Bio: 周美吟教授專長為理論凝態物理，尤其對計算固體、團簇、表面與奈米材料的結構、電性等有許多重量級的研究。周教授發表論文超過100篇，並已獲Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship 與David and Lucile Packard Fellowship等國際性殊榮肯定，並獲選為美國物理學會會士與該會計算物理分部主席。周教授目前為美國喬治亞理工學院教授，她於2011年回台任中央研究院原子與分子研究所所長。此次演講將對目前最熱門的奈米材料：石墨烯作深入淺出的介紹，您不可錯過！
